Where is the very in-depth thread about FICO scoring?

I can't find that super long, detailed thread about FICO scoring. It's not in the big list of threads, or if it is, I've missed it, but I just can't seem to find it.

 

It goes over scoring factors, scorecards, how many points are in each portion of the scoring alogrithim. etc etc.

You're welcome!  It was a very good read.  That's why I remembered it.

It goes over scoring factors, scorecards, how many points are in each portion of the scoring alogrithim. etc etc. 


Never understood why threads like that, the Navy Federal/PenFed info threads, etc. aren't just pinned

One probable reason is that while it purports to be authoritative, it's got a lot of things in it that are unproven and/or wrong.

i feel like that's easily correctable by updating...and the NFCU/PenFed threads have multiple versions to make sure they're up-to-date, but they're still not pinned.  anyway, just one of my random gripes with this forum
